Search on object name

You could try if you get results via the Additional Conditions dialog using the "contains (substring)" operator for the "Name or title" field:

Thanks Joonas. Not so bad, but quite complicated for basic users

No way to "bypass" limitation rules on search?

I believe there is some way to bypass it but that it will have an effect on search performance. This is related to how M-Files indexes the data and how it is searched from the database, but I'm not familiar with the exact technical details under the hood. I'll see if I can find that bypass method if you are interested in trying it.

You could try modifying "Leading Wildcards to Omit During Preprocessing" under Advanced Vault Settings > Search > Full-Text Search. The default with dtSearch is *?# so enter for instance ?# if you want to use * in your searches.

You need system administrator rights to modify this setting and it might require you to restart M-Files Server afterwards for the new setting to be taken into use.

Thansk Joonas. It works well and this is amazing : what a pleasure to use * as first character!
